Revising the “Student Centered Funding Formula” to Incentivize Student-Focused Outcomes
Summary
If the state wishes to continue performance-based funding, the ASCCC has three requests to improve the formula:
1. Level the point system for associate degree awards so that all educational goals and achievements of comparable unit values are counted equally.
2. Award colleges only once per year per student for the highest award achieved as a means of prioritizing per-student success, as opposed to incentivizing maximizing awards more generally.
3. Keep the performance metric portion set at 10% of the total allocation to ensure funding stability and to support college exploration of how best to serve students.
